View Poll Results: How many points will Gus Nyquist finish the season with?

4 of the guys we mentioned last season had career seasons. Jiri Hudler was around his career high in points but his overall game greatly improved. He got gritty. Ian White was better than we thought and was really a big pick-up to our top four. Val Filppula and Jimmy Howard turned into the All-Star catergories. Johan Franzen was inconsistent, and was very lazy. Still put up a big chunk of points I guess.

Now that we have 8 up, here's hoping that 6 of them have career seasons.

I'm thinking high 30s/low 40s for Gustav Nyquist. I'm expecting him to bounce around the line-up. He'll be playing some games on our fourth line, and some on our first line. I think he'll have a few multi-point nights with that #13.

Playing with Pavel is going to give him a lot of chances. I'm going to expect ups and downs from a young player so I can't go very high in points, also I think we'll see Bert and Johan with Pav a lot as well this year (). 40 sounds about right to me.

I see him getting 20-25 points because I think he will get limited playing time, plus he may not be on the team. Most trade rumors have Nyquist linked to them, so if the Wings do make a trade Nyquist may be jettisoned.

I could see limited playing time considering he is young, not really proven and our gluttony of forwards. But I find it extremely hard to believe he will be moved considering after Smith he is our only for sure NHL talent unless someone gives us something too good to pass up.
